Chennai city, the gateway to South India, has a many beaches. Among them, the Marina beach and Eliot's beach are very popular even among the people outside Chennai. Owing to their popularity, they became highly crowded. Thanks to the efforts of Chennai Corporation that there are few more beaches to look beyond Marina and Eliots in Chennai.

In the last ten years, some of the beaches mainly on the East Coast Road were developed enabling people along with their families to visit them. The beach in Palavakkam is one of those beaches developed in the recent past. The beach is small and beautiful. It is also not crowded and comparatively cleaner.

The one disadvantage in this beach is that it is located near thickly populated residential area. Akkarai beach on ECR is better than this if you are planning to take your family.
